Wimal appears in court after warrant was issued
Former Minister Wimal Weerawansa appeared in court today after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The warrant was issued earlier this week by the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court for failing to appear in court in connection to the case over a protest staged in front of the UN office in Colombo in 2016.
Others accused in the case, Piyasiri Dissanayake, Mohammed Muzammil, Jayantha Samaraweera and Rojer Senevirathne appeared in court today while a lawyer appeared on behalf of MP Weerakumara Dissanayake and submitted a medical report on behalf of the MP.
The case was postponed for further hearing on 11 September 2023. (Colombo Gazette)
